Voice

Be quiet
They will hear your voice
Keep silence
They will know your thoughts

You have no right to speak
You have no right to think
You have no right to live
And no choice to escape

Be quiet
As they come after you
Be silent
Don’t say any word of truth

Obedience, silence, all dwelling lies
You are suffocating in this madness
In this parade of falsehood
Everything is drowning right on your eyes
In this dark endless abyss
They all call truth

Keep silence
Just run and hide
So none can find you
Be silent
Even in your mind
As they will catch you
Anyway, any time
Be quiet
Until it’s all gone

Rightless, hopeless, abandoned alone
We search for warmth and ways
Into better life, into better days
To see again bright light of the world
To have a right for your own voice
